§ Mr. Maloneasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he is taking to promote further the peace process in Uganda.
§ Mr. RifkindWe believe that the prospects for a stable and prosperous Uganda depend on a reconciliation between the parties to the peace talks currently taking place in Nairobi. We wholeheartedly support these talks and wish them every success.
As an earnest of the importance we attribute to the peace process we have, with the agreement of President Moi, attached Major General Pollard to our High Commission in Nairobi: His role will be to offer advice on the military aspects of any settlement once agreement has been reached, and to recommend what form future British military assistance to Uganda might take.
We are also considering with other donors what economic assistance we intend to provide to help a new Government put Uganda back on the road to economic recovery.
